Just want to inform the world that I'm the proud owner of a red 2006 Suzuki SV650S (they didn't have it in burgundy ). I've started a "buy saden fairings" donation drive and everyone is encouraged to donate.

p.s. Unlike someone in the news I feel very comfortable wearing a helmet while riding.

I went to my local dealer to purchase a new Ninja 650R as I liked its looks but my friend and brother convinced me to go with SV650S instead because it's a "known" bike. I like the looks of the SV650S better though I've never been a fan of naked/semi-naked bikes. Eventually I want to make it look like this:

I started out on a yamaha 175,moved up to a yamaha 400 special in college,eventually owned 2 harleys,was a victim of a hit and run in college on my 400,car pulled out in front of me and i nailed the rear end of the car doing about 50,shattered my leg and i went flying about 20 yrds in the air,landed on my face,full coverage helmet was ground down in the front,i dont know if it saved my life,but it definitely saved me from plastic surgery,it was the night before dallas plyed the skins in the plyoffs to see who would go to the sb in 82 season,when the ambulance got there the first thing i asked them is"will i be able to see the game tommorrow?" never forget that,watched the sb in the hospital,worst thing about it was i went to school near dallas and i had been putting up with the cowboys fans shit all yr and then i wasnt at school to give them shit after we won.I sold my last harley about 5 yrs ago,I was getting to crazy on it,I love speed ,i was hauling ass too much and most of the time not wearing a helmet going thru houston traffic,decided i needed to sell it before i left my daughter fatherless,so my advice is,wear a helmet,dont haul ass in traffic,and never ride before a big skins game!!
